Planning..

Every night for the past month or so I have been knitting...and knitting...and knitting some more.

I wish that I had something truly magnificent to present to you to show for all of this hard work..

but instead all I have is this.

So pretty... riiiiight?

Although this is merely a big old pile of ugly swatches, I feel that it is the beginning of something truly great.

I am working on a new collection of patterns that focuses on botanical elements in my favorite Autumn colorways. It's so "me".. and it is so very self indulgent. I am loving it and I hope that when I finally finish it.. that you will too.

All I have to show for my knitting lately is a giant pile of swatches as well. Usually I abhor swatching as it's a speedbump in the way of the project I so want to cast on, but I've been making myself slow down lately. Get to know the yarn. Experiment with different needle sizes. Take notes about the result. And I'm starting to enjoy it.
